THE New York World Of Yesterday says;

The MISUNDERSTANDING clubs that flourish
in southern Indiana and commit occasional
ou,rages are simply revival of ku.kluxism in
its worst form. Persons have been seized at
night and logged into unconsciousness by
these lawless organizations. Here is a chance
for Senator Hoar to make characteristic mo-
tion for an investigation, but it is not probable
that a senatorial inquiry would develop the
kind OF revelations that the senator is angling
for.
These Indiana outlaws ought to be sum-
marily suppressed, but they are not, as the
Worlds comment implies, political organ
ization. If they had put the majority in a
number Of states under the minority, and
had thereby vtlated the national govern
ment, there would be imperative need Of
investigation by Congress. 1t is the habit
Of the Democratic press to compare local
and non-political crimes occurring in the
north with the acts Of organized political
ruillans who have introduced the "Mlssis-
sippi plant in various parts OF the south.

wishing and Needing.

While discussing the fishery bill In the
Senate MIR. Coke inquired of Mr.. Morgan
whether the measure was In accordance with
the views of the State Department, to which
the latter replied that the bill had not been
presented to the State Department, and so
long as he was q member Of the Senate he
would never consent to the presentation OF
bill to a coordinate branch of the govern
ment unless IL were o bill on which he
tgishcd to get information. Now, IL the
senator had said "unless 1t were bill on
which he needed information the remark
would have been proper; but, as he leaves
the matter entirely dependent upon his own
wishes, 1t is unfortunate for the country.
Many men serving the public in high places
began public life under the solemn impress
sion that they were acquainted with every
thing pertaining to universal knowledge and
have naturally had no wish for further in
formation, and In this fact rests the mystery
of much Of our peculiar and laundering
legislation.
No bill was ever presented to Congress
but what bore directly or indirectly upon
some interest relating to one or more OF the
departments Of the national government,
and II such bill was constructed without
consulting the coordinate branch inter-
ested the fountain head was not reached
and the bill must have been faulty and iu-
complete. A department controlling cer-
tain national interests becomes the reposi-
tory Of everything relating thereto, and is
the most competent authority upon the
subject. Thus, when a national lawmaker
refuses to consult CO. ordinate branch OF
the government tunless be wishes informa-
tion) in preparing to legislate upon a sub
iect in which 1t is profoundly interested, he
may commit serious error, because he
might actually need information which o
lack of craftsmanship ard intelligence
| would not deem necessary.

THE Washington correspondent Of the
New York Swl expresses the opinion that
'any reduction bill that the House might
pass would be likely to go through the Sen
ate,' There are, he reports, "at least eight
Republicans in the Senate who cannot be
relied on to afford tariff protection" And
lie quotes Mr.. Mckinley as saying that "the
Senate would be only too thankful for an
excuse of acting on such measure" We
do not believe that the Republicans Of the
House would hesitate to trust the Senate
on the question of protection. But there is
scarcelya possible chance that the Demo-
cratic majority in the House will agree upon
any tariff bill.

THE ga LA ROSE"

To introduce it. To make
you familiar with it. It is
a new article to you. New
to us for that matter, but
you can rest assured we
have given this new Corset
a thorough test and know
what we are talking about.
In the future it will be our
regular 75c. Corset, but for
the month of February we
are going to sell it for 63e.
simply to introduce it.
On March l the standard
price Of 75c. will go into eff
feet. First, we claim that
it is the best value that has
ever been offered in this
city for the money. Second,
we claim that it is a better
Corset than we ever offered,
ever kept, or ever saw for
75c. It is q moulded Corset
of French Coutille; it has
heavy boning, side steels,
s hooks, lace top, and comes
in drab and white only. The
"a La Rose" is the name
by which it will be known.
You will save time and get
just what you want by ask
ing for it, and also insure
absolute satisfaction by re-
membering that it will be
sold at 63c. during t h Q
month Of February and
thereafter at 75c.
You will please remem-
ber that our Corset Depart
ment contains all the STAN
dard makes, including
Warmers, Thompson's, and
Madam Foy's goods, the
"R. & Co.," t he "Ferris
Waist"-in fact, every &C.
knowledged specially in the
line. We are pleased to sell
you what you want at any
time, but we lay particular
stress upon the merits OF
the "a La Rose." Try ii
while the price is 63c.

Home for War Widows.

Why is It that some senator or member OF
Congress has not introduced and secured
the passage of bill to provide national
home for the poor and needy widows OF the
gallant men who lost their lives in the vari-
GUS organizations OF the Union service dur
ing the late war; II seems strange that
none of our legislators has so far been con-
siderate enough to propose such a measure,
which would not only be the sweetest and
most perfect form of charity, but would
also perpetuate his name.

bath day, see Christianity forwarded by
the labor movement. When read that in
stead Of declaring that women must not
compete with them, and thus diminish their
chance of earning wages, the workingmen
claim that the weaker toilers by their side
shall have equal pay for equal work, see
that the Knights Of Labor are also knights
Of the new chivalry. When read OF their
hearty responses to requests for help that
come TO them from the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union and the woman suffrage
societies, say: who knows but these men
shall bring In the new republicP
"When ] read about their personal
boycott Of the saloon, l say, Here is the
most extended temperance movement yet
inaugurated;' and when | read Of their new

kindlier thought about the church, say:

women shall bring in the kingdomH

Upon the great chess.board of opinion,
wide as the continent, where this game OF
progress is now being played, the checks
are numerous. Two conservative forces
hedge the theorists from reaching danger
GUS extremes.
1.-THE farmers Of the nation now being so
rapidly aroused and organized, will Offset
the nihiistic element of our cities, and the
| women massed in the Woman's Christian
| Temperance Union and like societies will
stand for the unity and protection of their
| homes.
"Beyond all other lands ours Is the child
Of Providence and may itly declare;
"My barque Is waited to the strand

abe it ours TO help and not condemn the
working men and women to make com
mon cause with them In every righteous
undertaking, and by the kind clasp Of oul
own cordial hands to lead them to the low
ing, steadfast Hand once pierced for us and

AN ABSURD RTM0R

Three of our most val
ued customers informed
us to-day they heard we
were giving up the tailor
ing branch of our business.
Now, we have neither the
time nor inclination to no.
tice one half the rumors
that come to our ears con-
cerningour business-cirou-
lated no doubt by those who
know more about our busi-
ness than they do about
their own-but for fear
some one of our patrons
might give credence to the
absurd report and place his
order elsewhere on the
strength oft, we feel called
upon to say we have no
thought Of discontinuing a
branch of our business it
has taken twenty years Of
our life to build to its pres
ent proportions.
Our Tailoring Depart
ment was never more
thoroughly equipped than
now. The experience of a
lifetime has made it a
temple of taste and fashion,
where gentlemen m ay
dress elegantly and econ
omically-with none of the
worry and annoyance Incl
dental to having clothes
butchered in so-called tail
oring houses. We would
advise the Peter Funks of
the tailoring trade to, in
the first place, mind their
own business, and, in the
second place, to leave other
peoples business alone. II
they follow these two
straight lines they may in
time have a business o1
their own that will de-
mapd all their attention
and they will have no time
to spare in speculating or
the affairs OF others. Re
